A little everyday chit chat around the table...like we all used to do around my Grandmothers' tables when I was growing up. A little of this...a little of that...nothing too special...but as the years pass, all of it seems so. Come, sit at the Table, contribute, enjoy, stay as long as you want, leave when you need to, and return often!

The 76th recipe I made with the Eating with Ellie group is Chicken, Broccoli, Brown Rice Casserole, and can be found in Ellie Krieger's book You Have It Made, on page 181. The theme for the week was chosen by Margaret: Rice is Nice.

This is a whole lot of ingredients touching in a small space...I'm not that fond of this sort of thing, casseroles in general, but I had chicken and rice and broccoli and it seemed like a good time to try it as I do like all those ingredients. Since I could see all the ingredients in the recipe, I figured I could separate them all and eat them that way. And that worked. I did like the flavor of the lemon and the wine in the mix. Other than that, it was kind of bland and I'm not really sure how I would jazz that up. The little bit of cheese melted on the top was nice. Would I make this one again? Probably not, not the fault of the recipe, just that I'm not all that fond of casseroles in general...but once in awhile one should make one just to see if that's changed. It hasn't. That, however, doesn't mean you won't like it. :-)

If you wonder how the others did this week, click here to follow their post links. You can also find the recipe schedule there for the coming weeks. Next week's recipe theme was chosen by Gaye and is Perfect Pasta. Please come and join us at any time, just leave the link to your post that week so that week so we know where to find you.

Note: In our posts, we do not publish the recipes from Ellie Krieger's book as those belong to her, we like to honor that and encourage you to guy her books to get the recipes. You can also find her recipes at her site here, at her weekly newspaper article here, her recipes online here, and at her current tv show site here. We know that you will enjoy using Ellie's books again and again and that you will feel your money was well spent.
